WHEN HEAVILY LOADING ONE SIDE OF YOUR WALL OR ISLAND SHELVING UNIT, IT IS
IMPORTANT TO DETERMINE IF YOU CREATE AN UNBALANCED LOAD THAT EXCEEDS
THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE. IN THE EXAMPLE BELOW, WE ILLUSTRATE HOW YOU
CAN CALCULATE YOUR UNBALANCED LOAD IN INCHPOUND.
THE EXAMPLE BELOW SHOWS HOW YOU CAN CALCULATE UNBALANCED LOAD IN
POUNDSINCH.
TO CALCULATE THE UNBALANCED LOAD ON THE CENTER UPRIGHT, YOU NEED TO
DETERMINE HALF THE DEPTH OF THE SHELF PLUS 1.5 INCHES MULTIPLIED BY HALF
THE LOAD ON THE SHELF.
